Wednesday I watched the Bates College/Harvard match at Harvard. While the overall match was pretty one sided the Men’s number ones match was really special. Both players are capable of playing extremely high level squash. Bates’s freshman Ahmed Abdel Khalek is already known in the college squash circle having won the US National Juniors last year and losing in the semifinals of the invitation only college preseason tournament in Richmond this year. Harvard’s Ali Farag won last year’s CSA individual tournament without dropping a game.
These players are both really, really good and the video captures the intensity and skill pretty well. While my bias is well known I think that these two will probably meet again with different results. I hope to see that match too!
